Nick Drake ( Nicholas Rodney "Nick" Drake ; June 19, 1948 - November 25, 1974) - the cult English singer and songwriter, best known for his sad, gloomy songs to the acoustic guitar ... In 2000, after Volkswagen used in a TV advertisement of its cars song Drake Pink Moon , the number of discs Drake sold during the month exceeded the number of plates sold his 30 previous years. Born in Burma in a wealthy English family, which in the early 50's returned to England. In 1957, Nick went to boarding school Eagle House (Eagle House School) at Sandhurst. After studying there for five years, in 1962, he joined at Marlborough College (Marlborough College), which at one time taught by his father, grandfather and great grandfather. There he became a pretty strong athlete (it there the record in the women's 100 yards still can not beat either one pupil of Marlborough), some time was captain of the rugby team. Nick also played in the orchestra of the college, learned the game the clarinet and saxophone. In 1964 or 1965 along with four schoolmates, he organized a musical group The Perfumed Gardeners (scented gardeners), where he played in mostly on piano, and sometimes - he sang and played the saxophone. In the group for some time was Chris de Burgh, but was expelled from it, as his musical influences showed "gardeners" is too poppy. Summer of 1966 Nick graduated from college Marlborough and successfully passed examinations in Fitsvilyam College (Fitzwilliam College) at Cambridge University, where he was going to study English literature. Teachers considered him bright student, but unable to sit still and do not show sufficient enthusiasm for learning. Cantabrigian University paid much attention to the physical preparation of their students, but by the time Nick has lost interest in the sport, preferring to spend time in his dorm room, smoking marijuana and playing his guitar ... The autumn of 1967 he met with Robert Kirby, a student at the conservatory, which will later be make string and wind arrangements for the first two albums, Nick. By this time Nick discovered British and American folk music - artists such Bob Dylan, Josh White and Phil Oaks. Drake began playing in small London clubs and coffeehouses. In February 1968, when he performed with Country Joe And A Fish in the complex The Roundhouse in Camden Town, he was noticed by Ashley Hutchings, bass guitar Fairport Convention . Hutchings introduced to Nick and Joe Boyd, a 25-year old producer from the U.S., business owner Witchseason Productions , which collaborated with major label Island Records. Boyd recorded a couple of early singles Pink Floyd, opened to the public Fairport Convention, John Martin and The Incredible String Band and was a prominent figure on the British folk scene. Nick Drake Boyd provided a tape spool on which the spring of 1968, he recorded four songs. After listening to the material, Boyd suggested to Nick to sign contract and begin work on their debut album. Drake threw Cambridge for nine months before graduation and the fall of 1969 he moved to London to concentrate on a career musician. The father wrote him long letters, which pointed out the shortcomings of the decision to leave Nick out of Cambridge: "diploma - is an extra insurance; If you have a diploma, then you will, to rely on. "To which Nick replied that this insurance he did not want to have ... Bryter Layter - Drake's second album, recorded with the participation of Robert Kirby, and members of Fairport Convention: Richard Thompson, guitarist, drummer Dave Metteksa and bassist Dave Pegg. Also involved John Cale (of The Velvet Underground), and two of The Beach Boys (Mike Kowalski and Ed Carter). Shortly after the album's release (which did not have commercial success), producer Joe Boyd sold Witchseason company Island Records and moved to Los Angeles where he began writing soundtracks for Warner Brothers. The loss of an important figure for his mentor, along with poor album sales plunged Nick into a depression. His optimistic setting to London and a career musician has completely changed: he was unhappy, living alone, visibly nervous and shy when he performed ... Nick Drake style is characterized by intensive use of cluster chords (ie chords of at least two consecutive seconds). Such dissonant chords possess, but particularly "Warm" sounding, easy to perform on keyboards, but it is very difficult on the guitar. Therefore, Nick was experimenting with the settings of the guitar, in particular, with so-called "Open configuration" (open tunings). Lyric Nick includes a number of concrete images of natural elements: the moon, river, rain, sea, trees, fog, seasons. Central the image of his early works - summer and everything associated with it, in the later period of the summer takes place autumn, symbolizing the loss, separation and sorrow ...
